Meta Quest 3: The best Mixed Reality apps and games

If you pre-ordered Meta Quest 3 in time, it should have arrived a few days ago. Apart from the Quest Pro, this is the first time a Quest headset can give a high-quality mixed reality experience thanks to better color pass-through.

However, with the Quest Store being completely stocked, locating mixed reality material is difficult. As a result, we’ve put together a list of the finest existing (and forthcoming) mixed reality content for the new VR/AR headset.

Mixed Reality games for Meta Quest 3

BAM

BAM is a Mixed Reality multiplayer game in which you control small robots in a tabletop battleground. They may be scaled to any size and placed in your actual surroundings. In the tabletop arenas, you may battle in the air with jetpacks or acquire unique powers with power-ups.
